TeenCon
TeenCon is the (virtual) place for teens in Garfield County to meet creators and enjoy their favorite fandoms. Whether learning about cosplay, comic book creation, or YA writing on Create Day or playing fun games with your geeky friends on Fan Day, TeenCon has something for every teen to do and enjoy!
Create Day
On Create Day we're focusing on geek creation! You can learn how to cosplay or what Japanese you need to know when watching Anime/reading Manga. Listen to panels of comicbook creators and novelists discuss their processes and industries. And learn how an anime/cartoon voice actor does their job.
Fan Day
Show off your knowledge and geek out with fellow fans on Fan Day! Trivia, games, escape rooms, and game play with friends old and new on this day of celebrating your fandoms. The cosplay contest winner will be announced right after the last session.
Contests
Show off your cosplay skills by entering into the Teen Con 2020 Cosplay Contest! All participants earn a book buck while the top three get awesome geeky prizes for being the best!
